Shi Piao Teapot Dragon Dahongpao Red Clay Yixing 220ml

Shi Piao Teapot — Dragon Yixing Dahongpao Red Clay Zisha, 220ml

The Shi Piao (石瓢) is one of the most revered classic forms in Yixing teapot history — angular, grounded, and powerfully proportioned. This version is handcrafted from Dahongpao red clay (大红袍泥) and adorned with a dragon motif, by master artisan Chen Mengjun — celebrated throughout Yixing as the “King of Xi Shi” and widely recognized by collectors for his award-winning works.

Why Dahongpao Red Clay

• Unique adsorption: Excellent ventilation allows the teapot to continuously absorb tea aroma — develops its own distinct fragrance over time. Dedicate to one tea type for purest flavor
• The more used, the more beautiful: Frequent brewing and gentle cleaning makes the body increasingly shiny, smooth, and refined — a living vessel that grows with you
• Thermal stability: Sandy red clay transfers heat slowly — withstands sudden temperature changes, safe for direct stove heating without cracking
